The future part didn’t land for me at all.

To me it just goes completely off the rails.

“”” 2035: AI is 10,000 times smarter than the smartest human.7 It composes “A Brief, Exhaustive and Completely Correct History of Robotics” which is much funnier than this one.

2035: Technological utopia arrives. “””

That’s okay, humor requires taking a risk.



I had a dickens of a time with the ending. Having it end at the present seemed super abrupt (as it really feels like we are in the middle of a big shift) but I didn't really want to venture into my own predictions. One of my early readers had the suggestion of using prominent AI CEO/VC's predictions about the near future and treating them seriously as if they were inevitable fact, which I found very funny. And really this is all about amusing myself.
